[QUOTE="Paparock, post: 1001704, member: 106235"] Hi, I don't spend a lot of time on these forums and I have never been to Alaska or shot a grizzly. Lived and hunted in Wyoming for ten years solo in a grizzly use area that on occasion had problem bears as the mature bears drove the younger grizzlies out of Yellowstone into the area I hunted. These "teenagers" would sometimes get an attitude. A friend of mine had a cabin with an outhouse so you had to carry protection to the john. Meeting a grizzly at night in the dark on the way to the outhouse could cause problems with control if you know what I mean.:D I carried a custom .375 H&H when I hunted that area as I liked to hunt the blowdown timber for elk. It's like jump shooting whitetail at times as it can be fast and close just as bumping into a grizz can be. At hand shake distance you are only going to get one shot if that and I wanted to make as much impression as I could hopping if necessary it would allow me time to get in a second shot if needed. Dale Story made my rifle and he recomended a "quite brake" that had its last set of holes slanted forward slightly to lessen the mussle blast. It worked great to! The rifle was lite but kicked less than my heavier custom .30-06. I would suggest you look at the controled expantion bullets like the Nosler Partion, Swift A-frame, or the Barnes X bullets.
